'Moses Boyd is undoubtedly one of the most exciting artists in London right now. He's got a very traditional style of playing but comes at it from a very new way of thinking, rhythmically. There is so much power when he plays - he is extremely expressive and with Moses everything that you hear sounds very emotion driven. Moses is the only act we have had twice at our annual festival in 5 years.'
